    Super Bowl Predictions?

    Too early to tell. Patriots are always a sure bet, but they just lost their center. That may or may not be a serious setback. With Belchick, they probably won't skip a beat, but Brady needs a good center. Also needs Wes Welker to stay healthy all season. Green Bay might repeat, but again...

    New(used) Car Tips

    I never tell them what I want or have to spend, I only tell them what I want to look for cars they have. If you have $15K to spend, tell the salesperson you have less than that, pick a figure, at least $2K less. That or don't tell them. They don't have to know. Look at what you are...

    what did everyone think of Obama's speech?

    The people who will make the biggest difference are in Congress. They can't play together and are pandering to their lobbyists, donors and the rich. Get them out if you are unhappy.

    I think I may be nuts

    Altima is a GREAT car. Wife had one, got hit while stopped at a light by a Chevy conversion van doing at least 60. She walked away with relatively minor injuries. Car was totaled but it protected her great. I'd consider buying a used 4 wheel drive pickup (and keep the Z car). Very...

    So...you carry a blower with you so if it rains you take it out and blow out the mirrors? :dunno:

    Drip Stains under Mirrors

    If the "drip" stains are from water, then use a spray bottle filled with a 50-50 solution of white vinegar. It has acetic acid in it and it will dissolve mineral deposits that are not too heavy. Repeated applications can remove some hard water stains, but if the stains are still there, you...

    Tires still brown after scrubbing...

    I have used Bleche White on both clear coated rims and painted wheels. Never had any damage to the finish. For more than 25 years. They have to put a proviso on the back to avoid liability for careless use of the product. If you know how to use a garden hose, this stuff is completely safe...

    My First Headlight Restoration

    Hi, Louie: Great choice to go with 3M. I just want to mention that if you check the prices of replacement headlights, you may find that the cost makes them a better choice than restoration if they are real badly faded. Not saying it with your current project, but I would keep that in mind.

    dont you just hate it.....

    Some of those cars that "sound like lawn mowers" go extremely fast and will blow the doors off an "American Iron" car, even one with a supercharger. Never test fate. Let them race someone else. Plus, the one time you decide to do it is when the police catch you and you lose your license for...

    possible cracks?

    Diamondite sells glass restoration products in kits and separate components. However, if the pits or scratches are too deep, the only way to really get a clear view is to replace the glass. I did buy one of their kits for use on my Infiniti, but for the purpose of removing calcium deposits...

    Tires still brown after scrubbing...

    Wesley's Blech White. Someone mentioned in another thread that they did not like the "old technology", but this stuff has been around forever, and it works great. However, brown tires are brown tires, even with this stuff. I have had this problem with more than one tire and it does seem to...

    New to Machine polish - Guidence needed for Peugeot

    Hi, Terentius: If you can afford it, it is easier if you get a dedicated DA polisher like the Porter Cable unit and a wide selection of pads (two of each type if you can swing it). Sonus makes a good pad cleaning soap called Der Wunder Wash but you can clean the pads with soap solutions you...

    possible cracks?

    Hi, Miles: I clicked the pictures. I was unable to see cracks. Saw dots or specs.

    Thoughts on Sanding...

    Well, let's not distort things. Wet sanding is helpful for certain defect removal, but some people will prefer not to use it as a method of correction if the paint is invaded too deeply by the defect. Ask people how much BBQ sauce to use on ribs. You'll get a number of "right" answers...

    Thank God you kept the OEM wheels on it. Looks way better with them than with aftermarket wheels.

    Anyone Headed to Indy MotoGP?

    I go to Moto GP at Laguna Seca every year. Camp at the track for a week and always bring at least one bike. Meet up with all my homies. All the same folks camp in the same spots every year. One of these seasons I will have to fly out to Indy for that one. Not going to drive, too much...

    nissan frontier

    I own a Chevy truck, and it isn't new. So I am dumb on the new products. However.....I have owned several Nissan cars. My wife has owned one as well. All I have to say is that the best car I ever owned in terms of beating the tweetle out of the car, engine and tranny and not having the car...

    Thinking About Upgrading to a Full Size V8 from the Astro/Need Opin

    Hi, ShineTimeDetail: Wow, you carry a lot of stuff. Challenging. Do you like a van? If yes, it sounds like a one ton van might be your choice. May I suggest an alternative? You can do the math on it for both choices and see if it makes sense (I am not doing the math here, so not sure)...

    In-Out-Burger....

    The thread was started with the proposition that In-n-Out had the "best burgers". It did not say "best drive in burgers". I agree that Red Robin blows away In-n-Out and other drive ins, with the exception of those local family owned drive ins that make hand crafted burgers. Where I live...
